Writing Challenge: The Land of My Birth

I was born in a small town called Sto. Domingo, Ilocos Sur. It is located at the North West part of my country Philippines.It is beside of the south China sea.Most of the people on my town depends on farming, raising animals like cow,goat, those living on the coast side depends on fishing for living . I can say we are a typical Filipino known for their closeness with Family relatives,hospitality,happy people.

When I'm about 9 years old. My family moved to city (Valenzuela City )because that time my father was employed in truck Manufacturing Company.

And this place as a kid ,I felt that I'm not belong in this place and Its a little hard for me scope up with my classmates and my school because they are using other dialect which is not my mother tongue. As time goes I adjusted.

In 2007 we came back to the place where I was born and I finished my College degree here.

I can say that my town is a beautiful town, the place is nice , you can enjoy the environment, you can see trees all around unlike cities or you can go to the coast and enjoy swimming or feel the good atmosphere beside the sea .

People here are nice and very friendly, It is easy to approach them, they are ready to help you for free.

I love my town, this is where I belong , where my family and relatives lives. Where ever I was, I always miss this place.
This place is perfect.

You live beside the China Sea. I live beside the Pacific Ocean. What a coincidence! We both live by the sea. Don't take Ohnie's words as a joke because she will surely visit your place.

Anyway, here is my correction. Hope you'll learn from them.

**And this place As a kid ,I felt that I'm did not belong in this place. and Its It was a little hard for me scope cope up with my classmates and my school because they are were using other dialect which is not my mother tongue. But I was able to adjust as time went by. goes I adjusted.

You described your hometown very well! I love visiting places where the people are approachable. I used to have a neighbour from the Philippines. She was like a grandmother to my kids. She sewed dresses for my daughter and cooked us meals regularly. This post made me miss that old home.
